birbfest day 5: king eider, watercolor & oil pastel

[rbeeseart]

It turns out there's an actual list for #birbfest2026, so now I'm working on two sets of tiny birds at once!

Official birds so far: 1. Common Bronzewing 2. Many-colored Rush Tyrant 3. Razorbill 4. Golden-headed Manakin 5. King Eider

Rogue list birds so far: 1. Dark-eyed Junco 2. Red-breasted Nuthatch 3. Tufted Titmouse

I do love how much it helps to have better quality supplies. My first Tiny Birds painting was on cheaper paper and I only had cheap brushes. It turned out great, but I can tell there's a huge difference between that and these new ones. I'm able to get much better detail and color blending on cotton paper with a better brush.
